The film's plot focuses on two lovers, Corky(Gina Gershon) and Violet(Jennifer Tilly) who plan to steal millions of dollars from the mob. And then, they'll put the blame on Violet's crooked boyfriend, Ceaser(Joe Pantoliano).

Well, I picked this video out not knowing what to expect. I just got it because it was directed by The Wachowski Brothers, who brought The Matrix to the silver screen. Anyway, I was pleasently surprised, and thought Bound was a pretty good movie. The film offers several great performances. I was most surprised by Jennifer Tilly. I never thought of her as an actress with talent, but she proved me dead wrong in this film. Not only is she an attractive woman, but also has some acting skills as well. Also, The Wachowski Brothers' writing and direction was amazing.

Bound is an awesome edge-of-your-seat thriller. From start to finish, I was entertained. If you're in the mood to see a smart and sexy thriller, then Bound is worth seeing.

Running Time: 1 hour 40 minutes

Grade: 8/10

Bound- 10/10

What a brilliantly filmed and creative movie.
I recently bought the Unrated version on DVD and I was extremely impressed with it. I've read many reviews stating that this film is trashy. I agree but I also believe that it's intentionally trashy. The Acting is great, the direction is wonderful and the whole overall atmosphere of the film is right on.

Unrated- Contains Nudity/Sexual Content, Violence/Gore, and Profanity.

Yeah, I think it's trashy too. But it's still a very good movie. BTW, what's the difference between the R-rated version and the unrated version?

The sex scene is slightly (and I mean slightly) longer and there are more frames of violence. Don't bust a nut trying to find the unrated version if you have the r-rated version.
